This is indeed another possibility but it is a less exciting one to talk about because...it'd be something we've already seen. Still effective mind, but we haven't been given any sign that such a virus is present.

One thing we don't know is just how far Leo's treachery goes and just how willing it is, so when we see something like this...its pretty fun to question if it was Leo and how far he's been swayed by Salem.

And, at some point I need to find out where this was said, apparently Watts is the one that created that virus. Its all the more evidence that such a virus could in play in Haven, but if so its not evidence that we've seen yet.

Spoiler: Black Queen Virus and it's Creator

Show

The Black Queen virus was created by Watts. If you go back and look at the chapter where Cinder says they have a new access point (Ironwood's scroll) and finds Penny's schmatics, there is a stylalised "W" in the corner of her scroll screen.
This same "W" can be seen on the back of Watts' scroll in V4C1 and in V5C1 when it pops up over Lionhearts desk when Watts tells him "we'll have to work on your improvisational skills".
